Notary Services

An organ of the judiciary, the notary has a position which is independent of the government and of the parties in a transaction. On the basis of this special position, they advise the parties neutrally and comprehensively, making sure that the contracts are balanced. They also supervise payments and take care of entries in the land and other registers.

The law stipulates that a notary must be involved in certain legal acts that have far-reaching consequences for the parties. This includes, for instance, the conclusion of real property sale and purchase agreements and the incorporation of capital companies. Without notarization, such acts are null and void.

The scope of a notary’s work also includes the authentication of signatures and certification of copies, as well as the notarization of events, such as shareholder meetings, and the issuance of certifications regarding facts that the notary has witnessed in the course of their duties.
